Never ran one like that but I had a EAG front bumper on my JKU for 6yrs and I ran their steel front And rear fender flares on it for 4yrs. I never had a issue out of either one of those and they still looked good years later. I removed the fender flares and put some stock ones on but only because the dealership told me they could give me more money for it if it had the stock flares on it. I had considered a EAG bumper for my JT but ended up with the Rugged Ridge High clearance instead.
